..The purpose of this investigation is to compare the outcomes and costs associated with early physical therapy intervention (ePT) following initial presentation to podiatry versus usual podiatric care (uPOD) in individuals with PHP...

..The purpose of this study was to characterize gender differences in gait kinematics and muscle activities as a function of speed and surface incline and to determine if lower extremity anthropometrics contribute to these differences...

..Further, older adults seem to adapt their gait patterns to reduce mediolateral COM accelerations. These findings are relevant for understanding the factors that underlie walking performance and lateral balance in old age...

..The objective of this study was to characterize hamstring muscle kinematics during sprinting, so as to provide scientific data to better understand injury mechanisms and differences in injury rates between muscles...

..The purpose of this study was to determine how altering step rate affects internal muscle forces and patellofemoral joint loads, and then to determine what kinematic and kinetic factors best predict changes in joint loading...

Concussion Increases Odds of Sustaining a Lower Extremity Musculoskeletal Injury After Return to Play Among Collegiate Athletes

..As there are a multitude of injury mechanisms, thorough evaluation is imperative for determining the appropriate plan of care and adequate rehabilitation is required to reduce the risk of recurrent injuries. ..

..It was hypothesized that significant change in clinical outcome scores would result from patients' use of the TERC...

Lean mass asymmetry influences force and power asymmetry during jumping in collegiate athletes

David R BellDepartments of 1Kinesiology 2Orthopedics and Rehabilitation and 3Athletics, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, Wisconsin and 4University of Wisconsin Osteoporosis Clinical Center and Research Program, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, WisconsinJ Strength Cond Res 28:884-91. 2014

..These results demonstrate that lean mass asymmetry in the lower extremity is at least partially responsible for asymmetries in force and power. However, a large percentage remains unexplained by lean mass asymmetry...
